Colts open as 6-point road underdogs vs. Eagles

The Indianapolis Colts (1-1) may be coming off of their first win of the season, but they still aren’t viewed as favorites when they take on the Philadelphia Eagles (1-1) in Week 3.

On the road at Lincoln Financial Field, the Colts open their Week 3 matchup as six-point underdogs to the reigning Super Bowl champions, per OddsShark.

The over/under is set at 47.5 points with 65 percent taking the over. The Eagles are favorites in the matchup with 61 percent betting they will cover the six-point spread.

The Colts defense played one of their best game in recent seasons. They didn’t allow the Redskins to score a touchdown led by rookie linebacker Darius Leonard, who finished with 18 tackles (15 solo), one sack and one forced fumble.

The Eagles will see the return of quarterback Carson Wentz, who is expected to start Sunday for the first time since tearing his ACL after 13 games played in 2017.

The Colts will be looking for a bounce-back week from quarterback Andrew Luck, who finished completing 21 of 31 passes for 179 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions.

Avoiding an 0-2 start for the first time since 2013, the Colts are riding high following their first win of the season, but they aren’t viewed as favorites when they visit the Eagles.
